Hiiiiiii everyone. SO I haven't posted in a while.... Anyway, I really need advice! On my diet and just a few things!

Ok so tomorrow my friend and I are going to take some snap shots of our face and body because on Wednesday we're going to LA Models for casting calls. I'm like 99% sure he'll get signed to be a model! He's very androgynous with mid-lengh blond hair, GERMAN ACCENT(LOL), 6'0 and 110lbs! I seriously think he can model both female and male clothes! NOW I'm going because I have nothing to lose! and well to support him really! ... Now for my Advice.

So lets say I did get signed... I think I really need to start eating better! I eat to much junk since I started college! I haven't gained any weight but quel diet I have ._. Anyway, I think I need help because I really dont have time to exercise AT ALL like I use to. Cooking well I don't have time to cook the super healthy foods I use to and i'm away from home like 12 hours a day... So those day I barely eat.

Anyway I don't think i need to lose weight but just need advice on all this nutrition stuff :( Like being a fashion student takes my whole life away so I don't have time for everything. My friend actually is very unhealthy..... Hes been starving himself and I told him it was wrong! He just wont listen! I don't want to do that though because I have good self esteem.

Now this is me

Wish me luck on Wednesday! I kinda hope I do get signed and everything! It would be mighty awesome!! c:

Wow! You have nice curves, and I LOVE your hair. As for the nutrition, there's actually quite a lot of things you can do even while you're extremely busy. The first, and easiest, is to drink lots of water. Cold water is best. Don't drink any of those sugary, carbonated drinks. Bleh >.< The second thing is to make sure that you don't give in to the temptation of fast food. I know what it's like to be a busy college student (though from the sound of it, not nearly as busy as you) and I know how tempted you will feel to just go and get a burger from mcdonalds. I will tell you now, it's not worth it. Carry around healthy snacks either in your purse or backpack, whichever you use, and munch on them whenever you feel hungry. As for when you're at home, eating healthy isn't as hard as it seems. There are lots of websites out there that have quick, easy, healthy recipes on them. This is one of my favorites: http://allrecipes.com/. I wish you the best of luck for Wednesday! :)

Love,

Tessa

Do a google search of choosemyplate. Don't click on the link, but for the first result listed, it should have a link for daily food plan. Click on that link, type in a little info about yourself, and it'll tell you how many calories you should be getting, along with the food groups they should come from. Just make sure you get enough fruits and veggies to stay healthy, seriously.

Hi Alythegreatangel! :D

Congrats on giving this modeling/casting opportunity a shot!

You'll never know unless you get out there and try, just as you are doing! :D

Your picture looks great! :D

You will likely get all types of responses/advice within this thread.

I have tried so many types of diets, all aimed at improving my health and my stamina, both mentally and physically.

There is so much conflicting advice out in our world about what's needed and what's best for us!

I have done macrobiotic diets, vegetarian diets, vegan diets, the Paleo diet and more.

My goal was always optimal health.

I am now back to the vegan diet!

Many of my various physicians had given me a hard time, in the past, about my having been on a vegan diet.

Yet, now, all of them are on vegan diets! Lol! (They are truly on vegan, not simply vegetarian, diets! Wow!)

There is an interesting site which introduces the vegan lifestyle diet, giving rather easy guidelines to follow, etc.

There is an image of the "power plate," which is a visual aid for ease in following the recommendations, as per the Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine at : http://www.pcrm.org/health/diets/

There is a lot of info offered on this PCRM site. They also offer The 21 Day Vegan Kickstart diet.

There are ways to be creative with a vegan diet in order to meet your needs.

Truly, the best diet for anyone is the diet which works best for any individual and one that helps to keep them healthy!

Good luck with your adventure! :D

Hope to hear how things went for you and for your friend!

Warmly,

Brad

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
